RIP. I read Spot books to both of my daughters. Had some videos, too. They have a sweetness and kindness that is engaging and endearing.

My 2 year old gets two stories every night before bedtime, at least one of them must be Spot.

So sorry to learn of Eric Hill's passing. Spot is a favorite in our home. Innocent, sweet, clever, .......so perfect for the very young. We have the books, DVD’s, and stuffed figures. A child is lucky if he has parents who make sure that Spot is in the nursery library.

Spot books, etc. are not easy to find in stores these days, but they are found on ebay for those who are searching.

So sad. Our kids loved Spot.

First published in 1980, Where's Spot was inspired by the reaction of Eric's two-year-old son to an advert in which lifting the flap revealed a funny picture and to a bedtime story made up to go along with it. This is not the reading books we remember from earlier years.
